There was a bake off between Michelle Obama and Ann Romney for the best cookie, per tradition between the presidential hopefuls since 1992! I would just like to say 'Thank you Ann' for showing everyone how a cookie should be. The Karo syrup really adds a moist - chewiness to the inside of the cookie! My husband could not get enough of these!He actually preferred these over his previous favorite "Monster Cookies". (Image, courtesy of Bing images)
